point to point Bridge on Cisco Aironet 1310G

[Parham Amini Yeganeh]

Hi Guys,

Is any one can help me to configure basic Point-toPoint wireless bridge.

I need to connect two simple LAN with Cisco Aironet1310 AP. I required basic configuration with basic authentication between these two devices which is on IOS "123-8.JEA3".

Cheers,

Par

For T&E basics you just need to set a SSID and encryption

Dot11 SSID bridge
Authentication open
Authentication key WPA
WPA ASCII
Infrastructure-SSID

Interface dot11radio0
Encryption mode cipher trip
SSID bridge

That on both sides should get you up and running.

If you need to pass multiple VLAN you just need to add sub-interfaces to the radio and fastethernet interfaces

If you are going to set the channel on the non root like that you need to same on the root as well.

When I restart the interface dot11Radio 0 on non-root WAP, I got message:

%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Dot11Radio0, changed state to reset

%DOT11-4-CANT_ASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, cannot associate: No Response

Reset is the mode the non-root for into when it can't see a parent.
How far apart are these bridges? If thy are close to each other you may need to turn the power down, so that they are not 'screaming' at each other.

Hi Steve,

Changed the CCk,OFDM to 1 and still not talk to each other. I assume that issue comes from IOS version ,whats your idea ? do you wanna change the IOS to the latest version?

[Parham Amini Yeganeh]

upgrading IOS, but still got no response. link still down !!!!!

[Stephen Rodriguez]

Are these 1310, or 1310-R?  the -R is an external antenna that you need to connect up.

HTH,
Steve

[Stephen Rodriguez]
